Deep Thoughts by AFF

I laughed my tooshy off when my BIL (who occasionally reads my writing) emailed me last night to ask who Flo was. Ummm…well… Apparently, he thought we’d gotten a maid named Flo. And, asked me to reread the previous post with that in mind. It kinda made it funny.
Then, my spouse who was making fun [...]

Sonic the Hedgehogging

*please ignore everything you read beyond this point*
I knew this was going to be one of those months where Flo decided to wreak some serious havoc with me when she didn’t appear on time. Normally, I’d be rather grateful for a delay in the inevitable, but the longer she fails to report on time, the [...]

Fun Monday #9: This Season’s Must Have Accessory

Karina of Candid Karina is our hostess this week, and she said she wanted to see our security blankets, meaning the things we couldn’t leave home without.
Once upon a time….back BC (Before Child), I had a purse. In addition to money (which I no longer have), I had things in my purse…like makeup. But, [...]

Yeti Go Away, Come Again Some Other Day

My precious little one’s latest is to say, “Is it ready, yet?” Or “Is it my turn, yet?” Everything ends with yet? And, it’s fast becoming something that grates. Not just nicely julienned grating, but sharp, course, ugh grating. It’s beginning to clue me in to my son’s appreciation of patience, or lack thereof.
My spouse [...]

Haiku Friday #7: Potty Time?

A big brown eyed boy?
Incorrigibility!!
Keeps me on my toes!

Wed is Halloween

Time to scream, “Trick or Treat.”
Thank you mom for that.
I never have plans.
Then boom! Three parties on Sat.
How did that happen?

Bought Elmo’s Potty Time
I’m not above bribery
To get pee & poop.

We need to start this
Preschools don’t allow diapers
I think we’re behind?

It’s all [...]

Rehab is for Quitters!

Well, this morning I was woman on a mission from Gawd (which movie was that?). As SD was heading for MDO, and I’m so gosh awfully behind, I needed to hit the stores for some serious Christmas shopping with my gift certificates, including the Target one (now with an additional $44 on it!!) from yesterday. [...]

Thursday 13 #8: Be Safe Online

I went to my Junior League meeting the other night & listened to a speech about internet safety. I don’t personally have kids old enough to become victims of sexual predators, but we all can be a little cautious. Especially when I learned that 1 in 5 teenagers has been approached online by one of [...]

Repeat: I’m NOT June Cleaver

Wordless Wednesday is the next post down!
I should’ve known it was going to be one of those days when I woke up about sixteen times for the dog to make herself more comfortable on MY sleep number (35 if you wondered) as now that it’s colder, Her Majesty thinks emerging from under the bed to [...]

WW: What a Pisser!

This was taken at my dad’s farm. I hope you get a good laugh from it.
